Do Children with Eczema Really Need to Supplement With Digestive Enzymes? Here’s the Surprising Answer.



Eczema in children can be quite a complex condition to manage. Among its root causes and potential holistic treatments, the question often arises: do children with eczema really need digestive enzymes?


The answer might surprise you – it depends!


Understanding the Connection

Not every child suffering from eczema is deficient in digestive enzymes. Often, children with eczema have issues with a bacterium known as H. pylori, which resides in the stomach lining. This bacterium releases an enzyme called urease, which can lead to a cascade of digestive issues. One such issue is that the pancreas may not receive an adequate signal to release digestive enzymes. These enzymes are crucial for breaking down food efficiently, ensuring better absorption in the intestines.


The Individualized Approach

However, it's important to note that not every child with H. pylori will face this issue. This is where comprehensive gut health testing comes into play. By delving deep into each child's unique gut profile, we can understand how their digestive enzymes are functioning and tailor supplements to their specific needs.


Testing Over Guessing

Children with eczema often display patterns of gut issues, but as every child is unique, a one-size-fits-all approach won't work. This is why I advocate for testing rather than guessing. Through thorough investigation, we can pinpoint the root causes and provide treatments that offer genuine relief and healing.


The Path to Healing

Finding and treating the root causes is essential for providing healing and lasting relief for children suffering from eczema. Personalized treatment plans, grounded in detailed gut health analysis, pave the way for improved health and well-being.


Every child’s journey is unique, and through understanding their specific needs, we can offer the best possible care.

Natural Way Pediatric Dermatology helped us tackle the root cause of my daughters’ eczema. NP Alaina conducted comprehensive testing to analyze what was going on in her body and developed a specific plan to help us tackle the root cause of her skin & gut issues. Within a few weeks of following the care plan, we noticed remarkable improvement (we never thought our daughter would be able to go swimming in chlorine pools without triggering an eczema flare—she now swims 2-3x a week with no flare!). Our family is extremely happy with the customized care we received. NP Alaina genuinely cares about the health and wellbeing of her patients and was truly committed to helping our family find a solution to our daughters’ eczema. She is an absolute life saver.
